Story and Themes

The narrative follows Vivi as she rides a train that transports departed beings. During the journey she talks with a variety of characters, hearing their thoughts on love, regret, and everyday hauntings that accompany mortality.

Presented with a sprinkle of comedy and philosophy, the story is described as a love letter to anyone who feels like a burden, encouraging self‑acceptance and personal growth through the shared experiences of the souls on board.
